[QUOTE="uktuk, post: 493648, member: 32466"] its a good question but a long answer, I did own a factory and sold it a couple of years ago when the local council decided to increase rates by 220%, it was used as a personal pension but I lost my backside on selling it as the value dropped massively due to the increase by the council and no one wanted to buy it. as for the power supply, its a property on my land that I used for holiday lets and it was available and free to use. it is a lucrative side business in reality although the electricity use is high but the profits match and beat the cost so well worth the investment. My concern was based on the wires capacity to feed the supply. Im not an electrician but found out some more information last night from the electrician who fitted everything in the building. The property has its own feed of 35mm cable from the feed pole to both our main house and also this property. this was laid by the power company. I don't really want to invest any more money changing the power supply as they cost sooooo much only a short while ago and any further costs would just make the profits from the mining drop which would render the project worthless. My concern was mainly down to wether the wires are able to cope with 24/7 usage. I am told that each miner runs off its own 32amp or 16amp ring main with peak draw being 2200w. each 32amp ring has 2 miners so a total peak of 4400w and each 16amp ring has 1 miner with a total of 2200w. All wiring is around 3 years old in the property. I have done a lot of research and seen people overloading their supply so I just thought that this place would offer some good advice regarding the power side of things. I do appreciate your answers and time guys :) [/QUOTE]
